After dusk · Riverside
You walked with her from the backstage of the cultural festival, bypassed the busy school gate, quietly crossed the familiar path, and came to the river near the school where you often walked.
There was still a little dusk on the horizon, and the lights were reflected on the water.
Hanu took off his coat and put it on you, but he sat on the small stone steps by the river bank and swung his feet.
“… Was the performance today okay?”
She asked suddenly.
“Is it the kind of good ‘okay’, or the kind of disappointing ‘okay’?” You joked.
She lowered her head and laughed, and her tail came out from behind, shaking a little but obviously.
“Actually, I was super nervous. I almost wanted to run away before singing.”
You whispered: “Then why didn’t you run away?”
Hanu tilted his head and looked at you, blinking.
“Because I know you will listen to me sing.
So I’m not afraid.”
Small movements · Gently touching hands
After she finished speaking, she was silent for a while. The wind messed up her hair, and you subconsciously reached out to help her brush it.
As a result, your fingertips touched – very lightly, but she retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted, and then stopped moving.
You wanted to pull back, but she suddenly reached out and grabbed your fingertips, and held your hand in her palm.
“…Are you nervous too?” she asked softly.
You nodded. Then she held her hand a little tighter.
“Then… let’s be nervous together. In the future, too.”
💬Talk about the future · “If after graduation, I…”
You talked a lot.
From club affairs, next practice songs, to future dreams – she suddenly said hesitantly:
“…If I can really be a singer in the future, I can’t accompany you every day. Will you think I have changed?”
You looked at her, thought about it, and said:
“Whether you change or not, I still know you.”
Her eyes suddenly brightened a little, and then she smiled with her lips pursed.
“…What if you become handsome? Will other girls chase you?”
You: “That depends on whether you agree or not.”
She whispered: “No.”
You looked at her. Her ears turned red.
Then, you were both silent for a few seconds, and no one spoke. There was only the sound of the wind, the river, and each other’s heartbeats.
Easter egg · This scene recorded by the mobile phone camera
At that moment, you didn’t notice that on the bridge behind you, a classmate from the small transparent reporter club was secretly taking pictures of the club.
Your back, her profile, and the two holding hands were photographed from a distance.
On the campus forum the next day, the accompanying picture was a photo at an oblique angle, and the title had only one sentence:
“The lead singer of the K-Music Club and a boy secretly dated on the night of the cultural festival?!”
The comments exploded instantly:
: That ear is Hanu, right? My ears are shaking! !
: Wait… Who is the boy? ? When did our school have a campus fairy tale group…
: Is this the love sound wave of the K-Music Club? ? ?
The moment Hanu saw the post, her face turned red. You thought she would panic.
In the end, she just smiled, then looked up and asked you:
“How about we… stop hiding?”
Progress unlocked: You have become [the one she doesn’t want to hide anymore]
